“Artemis Fowl.”
“I knew he’d be back. I knew it.”
Someone has been supplying Class A illegal human power sources to the goblins. Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon Unit is sure that her arch-enemy, thirteen-year-old Artemis Fowl, is responsible. But is he? Artemis has his own problems to deal with: his father is being held to ransom and only a miracle will save him. Maybe this time a brilliant plan just won’t be enough. Maybe this time Artemis needs help.
If that description wasn’t good enough, why not go here to watch a video of Colfer himself describing this book.
